"Monster!" That's the word people in Klamath Falls, Oregon, used to describe Jesse Pratt. The would-be macho trucker and sometimes pimp was so threatening, even his own mother was terrified of him. Obsessed with his pretty, 20-year-old secretary, Carrie Love, Pratt alternately charmed and stalked her. When she resisted his advances, he forced the young girl to accompany him on a business trip, where he raped her, then brutally stabbed her to death. But that wasn't all. To hide her identity he ran over her body with his tractor/trailer. What the cold blooded killer didn't know was that he had provided forensic scientists with enough evidence to put him on death row. Using meticulous analysis, fathering the tiniest of clues, a top team of detectives put together a case against Jesse Pratt, one extraordinary puzzle piece at a time.

Not very accurate,
By
This review is from: Fatal Journey (Paperback)
I knew Carrie Love. She was my twin sister's best friend and my eldest sister's roomate.
The forensic information detailed by Mr. Gieck might be accurate - I cannot comment. However, his description of the peripheral characters to this awful crime are very inaccurate. For example, Gieck describes Carrie Love's ex-boyfriend as a "biker," when he actually was a meteorologist, who met Carrie when they both served in the national guard together. The author might try contacting the people who were involved before making things up. Either that, or correctly mark the book as a work of fiction that is loosely "based on a true story." The author didn't bother to interview any of Carrie's friends who were around when she made the decision to go on that trip with Jesse Pratt. She wasn't "charmed" by Jesse Pratt as the book's description connotes. She felt he was creepy. However, she was a young woman struggling to make it on her own without much support from her family and she wanted to keep her job. Unfortunately, it cost her life.

A Gripping Tale,
By
This review is from: Fatal Journey (Paperback)
This is an excellent true crime novel. I couldn't put it down. Jack Gieck weaves a gripping tale of the murder of Carrie Love. You will find yourself hating the criminal and mocking the bumbling defense lawyer.
